Glenn Reynolds’s cousin has a petition site up. I agree with him that it’s ridiculous that the Olympic Committee are dragging their heels about it.
The idea of lithe women in tight-fitting clothing flying out of the sky towards me on an enormous flat-screen TV appeals to me, I must admit. Also, the question of how breastature affects the sail-time is innately fascinating.
Well, you are talking about the same Olympic Committee that just ruled having your legs amuputated at infancy is an unfair advantage to a sprinter, so ridiculous is to be expected.
Just let them do it on the X Games and forget this crazy Olympic thing altogether. If the Olympics wants to get its glory back, it should do things right: athletes running, boxing, wrestling, jumping, and wearing nothing but olive oil. Sure, Bravo would take over the coverage, but NBC has screwed it up enough.
47-year extra virgin olive oil?
That olive oil should write to Dr. Helen.
Well, it probably doesn’t matter, since you aren’t supposed to actually eat it. Of course, some will.
Plus, extra virgin just means she’s ugly, too.
I quit reading after “Let Women Bone … “. Who in the hell is keeping them from boning?
I’m against it. Let men and women compete together in all sports, or let them compete together in none. This is another example of the female rule “opportunity when it doesn’t hurt me, special treatment when it does.” Equality or not, but nothing between.
“Ski jumping is a sport in which skiers go down an inrun with a take-off ramp (the jump), attempting to go as far as possible. In addition to the length that skiers jump, judges give points for style.”
Style points suck Satan’s barbed cock! I refuse to watch anything that awards ‘style points’.
I like me some well-displayed woman ski jumper cleavage. So sue me.
Some basic theory to feed your fascination here
For Example
“Sphere Drag
Fig. 4 shows the behavior of the drag coefficient for a sphere at subsonic speeds. The surface finish has been found of extreme importance in imparting aerodynamic characteristics. The two curves on the graphic refer to two different surface conditions. When the surface is rough, turbulent transition occurs earlier, and so does the drag drop.”
I suspect many men look forward to seeing some empirical research…..
I don’t really fault them for not wanting to add yet another event to the Olympics. This isn’t about women, it’s about the huge expense and logistics of adding another event, plus the likelihood people won’t particularly care to watch it. I mean, there are hundreds of events they could add, but they’ve got to limit them to a certain amount.

Yeah, and Skeleton isn’t just headfirst luge. And nobody would watch curling; it’s just shuffleboard on ice.
Watching hot women defying gravity would totally suck; just look at how few people watch women figure skate or ski. It’s especially not worth bumping, say, the biathlon for.
OK. You’re starting to convince me.
Squid, I think it’s pretty hot watching women ski and shoot guns.
Be hotter, though, if it were naked.

Hot Scandanavian chicks on skis, in lycra, with guns … and you want to get rid of this. Why ?
I’m wondering how the sail time would be affected differently if the breatature was natural versus synthetic ot augmented. Do implants enhance performance in this event?
Don’t go there. Just don’t. Trust me.
